I'm struggling to clarify a point.
It seems that the first publication of the ten point program was in the second issu of "The Black Panther" in may 1967 (link here :
http://post-what.com/1967/05/hueys-re-mix-1967-the-first-appearance/). And the third point says : "We want an end to the robbery by the white manof our black community."
When the program was updated in 1972, the third point says : "We want an end to the robbery by the capitalist (capitalists, CAPITALIST or CAPITALISTS in some versions) of our black community."
The Oacklandnorth website (
https://oaklandnorth.net/2016/11/04/the-black-panther-partys-ten-point-program-50-years-later/) is quoting a PBS transcription (
http://www.pbs.org/hueypnewton/actions/actions_platform.html#) in which Bobby Seale says : "WE WANT AN END TO THE ROBBERY BY THE WHITE MAN OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY. Wait a minute, that doesn't sound right. Not everybody ripping off the black community is white, A lot of them are black. We're not anti-white, we're anti-wrong. Let's do a little revision on number three and just say that WE WANT AN END TO THE ROBBERY BY THE CAPITALISTS OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY. Capitalists, can you put that in upper case? I'm not sure how you spell it; I think it starts with an A C." But I can't find the source of this transcription nore any clear contextual info (can't read the video linked to the transcription, but there is youtube version (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4RZEmaNUW4) that doesn't match the transcription...)
Plus the draft of the third point isn't written in any of those ways.
so my questions are : When were those ten-point printing with "CAPITALIST" and "1966" made and by who ? Is it linked to a specific BPP chapter ? Was this ambiguity between "white man" and "capitalist" common in the different chapters of the BPP ?
